The PIK3CA/AKT pathway drives therapy resistance in rhabdomyosarcoma

ABSTRACT: Olaparib and temozolomide (OT) combination therapy is in clinical trial evaluation foradolescent rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) muscle cancers. Unfortunately, resistance to OT hasbeen reported in other cancers, with no counterstrategies available. Using preclinical mousexenograft experiments, we show that OT is effective at curbing RMS growth, yet a subset oftumors develop resistance that is associated with transcriptomic changes that occur in theabsence of recurrent genomic mutation. Importantly, a majority of resistant RMS modelsupregulate the PIK3CA/AKT pathway, which in turn activates NRF2 transcription factorphosphorylation and subsequent transcriptional expression of multidrug resistance ABCtransport proteins that rapidly efflux drugs from cells. We found that the PIK3CA inhibitoralpelisib re-sensitized resistant tumor cells to OT therapy by suppressing the expression of ABCtransport proteins. Excitingly, RMS use the same PIK3CA/AKT pathway activation to driveresistance to standard-of-care combination therapy vincristine, actinomycin D, andcyclophosphamide (VAC) and the combination of OT + alpelisib effectively killed VAC-resistantRMS. Alpelisib also re-sensitized resistant RMS to chemotherapy in preclinical xenograft mousemodels resulting in reduced tumor burden and extended disease-free survival. Our work definesa common resistance pathway in RMS and has credentialled a new preclinical strategy to killtherapy resistant RMS.

Microarray expression data of NCI-H1975 cells treated with osimertinib, alpelisib, or combination of these in the presence or absence of L-histidinol.

Project description:Oncogenic signals often activate abnormal proliferation, while simultaneously activate stress-adaptive mechanisms such as the integrated stress response (ISR) to ensure rapid growth under intrinsic and extrinsic stress conditions. In this study, we investigated the involvement of EGFR-PI3K pathway in the regulation of ISR in EGFR-mutant NSCLC cell lines under amino acid deprivation. We found that the third generation EGFR inhibitor osiemrtinib suppressed induction of activation transcription factor 4 (ATF4), the key ISR effector, in EGFR mutant cells, while the effect was to a less extent in cells harboring PIK3CA-co-alteration. PI3K inhibitors including P110a-specific inhibitor alpelicib markedly suppress ATF4 induction in PIK3CA-mutant cell lines. To further explore the role of EGFR-PI3K, transcriptome analysis was performed in EGFR- and PIK3CA-mutated NCI-H1975 cells treated with osimertinib, alpelisib, or combination of these in the absence or presence of histidyl-tRNA inhibitor L-histidinol (His), mimicking amino acid deprived conditions. Among His-induced genes, either osimertinib or alpelisib partially, but the combination dramatically suppressed a cluster of genes targeted by ATF4. Furthermore, combination of osimertinib and alpelisib increased apoptotic cells under amino acid deprived conditions. These results indicate that oncogenic EGFR-PI3K pathway contributes to cellular adaptation to stress conditions through ATF4. We used microarrays to identify genes whose expression is up- or down-regulated by inhibition of EGFR, PI3K, or both under amino acid deprivation.

Phosphoproteomics of BYL719 (alpelisib)-Resistant T47D Human Breast Cancer Cell Line

Project description:The PI3Kalpha-specific inhibitor Alpelisib (BYL719) has been approved for the treatment of metastatic ER+/HER2- breast cancer patients in combination with Fulvestrant. After initial response, patients develop drug resistance and disease relapses. In order to identify signalling pathways contributing to the acquired resistance to BYL719 in breast cancer, we generated BYL719-resistant T47D cells and used them together with the parental cells to perform label-free quantitative phosphoproteomics.

CRISPR-screening identifies mechanisms of resistance to KRASG12C and SHP2 inhibitor combinations in non-small cell lung cancer

Project description:Although KRASG12C inhibitors show clinical activity in patients with KRAS G12C mutated NSCLC and other solid tumor malignancies, response is limited by multiple mechanisms of resistance. The KRASG12C inhibitor JDQ443 shows enhanced preclinical antitumor activity combined with the SHP2 inhibitor TNO155, and the combination is currently under clinical evaluation. To identify rational combination strategies that could help overcome or prevent some types of resistance, we evaluated the duration of tumor responses to JDQ443 ± TNO155, alone or combined with the PI3Kα inhibitor alpelisib and/or the CDK4/6 inhibitor ribociclib, in xenograft models derived from a KRASG12C-mutant NSCLC line and investigated the genetic mechanisms associated with loss of response to combined KRASG12C/SHP2 inhibition.

Methylation of the epigenetic regulator KMT2D by SMYD2 contributes to therapeutic response in hormone-dependent breast cancer [KMT2D_ChIP_seq]

Project description:Activating mutations in PIK3CA, the gene encoding PI3Kα, are frequently found in estrogen receptor (ER+) breast cancer and the combination of the PI3K inhibitor alpelisib with the anti-ER agent fulvestrant is approved for therapy. We have uncovered a key role for the chromatin modifier KMT2D in regulating the ER-PI3K crosstalk. PI3Kα effectors, AKT and SGK, negatively regulate KMT2D through S1331 phosphorylation. When PI3K is inhibited, this regulatory event is lost, leading to increased chromatin recruitment of KMT2D and an upregulation of ER-dependent transcription. Here we discovered a previously undescribed methylation site on KMT2D, at K1330 directly adjacent to S1331, catalyzed by the lysine methyltransferase SMYD2. SMYD2 loss attenuates alpelisib-induced KMT2D chromatin binding. Accordingly, loss of SMYD2 abrogates alpelisib-induced changes in gene expression, including ER-dependent transcription. Knockdown or pharmacological inhibition of SMYD2 sensitizes breast cancer cells, patient-derived organoids, and tumors to PI3K/AKT inhibition and endocrine therapy in part through KMT2D K1330 methylation. Methyl dead knock-in clones of KMT2D phenocopy many of the effects of SMYD2 inhibition on cell and tumor growth, drug response, and transcriptional output. Together, our findings uncover a regulatory cross-talk between posttranslational modifications that plays an important role in fine-tuning the functions of KMT2D at the chromatin. This provides a rationale for epigenetic therapy using SMYD2 inhibitors in combination with PI3Kα/AKT inhibitors for the treatment of ER+/PIK3CA mutant breast cancer.

Mutant PI3K cooperates with HER2 to promote mammary tumor formation and induces trastuzumab resistance in vivo

Project description:HER2 (ERBB2) gene amplification and PIK3CA mutations often co-occur in breast cancer, and aberrant activation of the PI3K pathway has been implicated in resistance to HER2-directed therapies. We have created a mouse model of HER2-overexpressing (HER2+), PIK3CAH1047R-mutant breast cancer. Mice expressing both human HER2 and mutant PIK3CA in their mammary glands developed tumors with a significantly shorter latency compared to mice expressing either oncogene alone. By microarray analysis, HER2-driven tumors clustered with the luminal subtype, whereas HER2+PIK3CA and PIK3CA-driven tumors were associated with the claudin-low breast cancer subtype. In accordance, PIK3CA and HER2+PIK3CA tumors expressed elevated levels of EMT and stem cell markers, and cells from HER2+PIK3CA tumors more efficiently formed mammospheres, providing further evidence that activated PIK3CA may enrich for cancer stem cells. Finally, HER2+PIK3CA tumors are resistant to the HER2 antibody trastuzumab; resistance is partially reversed by the addition of a PI3K inhibitor. Taken together, these studies suggest that the co-expression of HER2 and PI3KH1047R in the mouse mammary gland accelerates the formation of aggressive, trastuzumab-resistant tumors. referenceXsample

Improving anti-tumor efficacy of low-dose Vincristine in rhabdomyosarcoma via the combination therapy with FOXM1 inhibitor RCM1.

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a highly metastatic soft-tissue sarcoma that often develops resistance to current therapies, including vincristine. Since the existing treatments have not significantly improved survival, there is a critical need for new therapeutic approaches for RMS patients. FOXM1, a known oncogene, is highly expressed in RMS, and is associated with the worst prognosis in RMS patients. In the present study, we found that the combination treatment with specific FOXM1 inhibitor RCM1 and low doses of vincristine is more effective in increasing apoptosis and decreasing RMS cell proliferation in vitro compared to single drugs alone. Since RCM1 is highly hydrophobic, we developed innovative nanoparticle delivery system containing poly-beta-amino-esters and folic acid (NPFA), which efficiently delivers RCM1 to mouse RMS tumors in vivo. The combination of low doses of vincristine together with intravenous administration of NPFA nanoparticles containing RCM1 effectively reduced RMS tumor volumes, increased tumor cell death and decreased tumor cell proliferation in RMS tumors compared to RCM1 or vincristine alone. The combination therapy was non-toxic as demonstrated by liver metabolic panels using peripheral blood serum. Using RNA-seq of dissected RMS tumors, we identified Chac1 as a uniquely downregulated gene after the combination treatment. Knockdown of Chac1 in RMS cells in vitro recapitulated the effects of the combination therapy. Altogether, combination treatment with low doses of vincristine and nanoparticle delivery of FOXM1 inhibitor RCM1 in a pre-clinical model of RMS has superior anti-tumor effects and decreases CHAC1 while reducing vincristine toxicity
